Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to share, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web resources. Unlike file sharing, the resources themselves aren't shared, merely bookmarks that reference them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking
Advantages of Social Bookmarking
The immediate advantage is access to bookmarked sites from any computer or mobile phone, not just the computer that you made the bookmark on.
Another advantage is expanding and making searches more meaningful: when you bookmark a site you will find others who liked the same site - you can then see what sites they bookmarked and so-on.
